3/3/10 The Lady with the Pet Dog

The lady with the pet dog definitely hit home to me. Both versions were similar but in my honest opinion, completely different experiences. I love reading excellent words flowing. Sentences looping in and out of one another, with an image being painted along the way. These stories make it hard to argue the fact that the guy was a misogynist. Yes indeed he was, but was doing harm to the woman? It seemed as if he was actually bettering her. He made her feel alive and human. He never pushed her or hurt her like her husband might have on a daily basis. She had a reason to cheat, she was not happy. and this man made her happy. Had she been madly in love with her husband and her husband truly being the man for her, she would have not been intrigued no matter how tempting the man was. Women are special in this way. They can put their logic before their sexual desire where as men often have trouble seeing the logical path due to excess blood in the one of their heads with out a brain. The story depicted the man as two-faced but all in all he knew she was married and he did not give her the image she needed to be with him. He was a savior and a rude awakening to the lady in my opinion.

misogyny - men who think the female race is inferior

sturgeon
watermelon
the lace was like scales on the skin
test- Gurov suffers an epiphany, surrounded by philistines when guy says something about sturgeon

features- told naturally, exact and rich characterization, no moral or message, based on a system of waves of moves, contrast of poetry (watermelon), the story does not end (people will alway be around, storyteller goes out to show trifles.
